Which intake/catback?
 

After recently completing my sound system, ive decided the next logical step would be a new exhaust system consisting of intake and a catback exhaust system. My question is which intake and catback system should I get for my 2001 Tib to make it like REALLY loud but not throaty sounding like some flowmasters. Im going for that really loud sweetass racecar sound. Can anyone help me out here? Any objections to the Weapon R Dragon intake?

dont get the weapon r,unless you want a short ram intake. if i was you i would get the SR cold air intake thats coming out in about a month i think. As for exhaust, you can get the MBRP exhaust from speedstate. Alot of people just find a muffler they want and have an exhaust shop put it on with a custom catback. My friend did this with his integra, he got the muffler instaled and the midpipes for $75. i think he payed $350 for the muffler.

How much is that cold air gonna runn???
I have one (a home made one) :D But it works great shuld i wait and buy or keep mine???

If you are happy with your home made one keep it! :D If anything take your home made CAI down to a muffler shop and have them bend you some pipe in the same shape and then take it down to a bumper repair shop and have them chrome dip it. You will then have a "Iceman91 custom CAI"!!! :D

It will give you some pride to know that you hand built your own car parts!

Well here are a few contimplations:

1) With the 5 speed 2001 Tiburon 2.0 DOHC motor, isnt the 2.5" pipe diameter better than 2.25" for a cat-back?

2) I thought HVE's catback was the best on the market for the 2001 5 speed Tiburon?


Sidenote, I peronally think AEM's legandary quality proves it to be the best on the market for CAI's.

The CAI question will be settled in about 30 days when Rob of HP.com does the CAI Dyno Shootout.

In regards to cat-backs, your choices are:
HVE
KORE
Speedstate
Pacesetter
Custom

If you call around to local shops, I'm sure you could get a competive price on a custom system, but it may not look as nice as the systems from KORE, HVE, Speedstate or Pacesetter.

The only problem with the "manufacturered" systems, is that you are buying their muffler. If you don't like the sound, you need to buy a new muffler, and that adds to your cost (but you can recoup some of that by selling the muffler that comes with the kit).

Random, but whats the [b]BEST[b]?
I dont know about Kore because its not on the site yet. Speedstate does not make it in 2.5", so thats also a no-no. Pacesetter IMHO makes horrible products, such as their great headers

That only leaves HVE. From the looks of it and tech. data, it seems to be perfect for the 2001 5 speed Tiburon, am I right?
